After looking at sites like The American Conservative and Antiwar.com, I can definitely confirm that I have never seen nor heard about these sites. I like what these sites have to say and it is fascinating to me on how I have never even heard of them. I think that antiwar is a creative resource and very interesting news source because it is not like a traditional news website at all. Antiwar gives so much more information all on one page. It has everything very organized, and you know what you are reading. A Lot of times when you read stories or news from sites, you can tell that it is very biased and opinion based. On this site you know what you are reading is opinion based because you go to viewpoints and you see what writers have to say. They let you know beforehand that it is all opinion based. Another thing that I love about this website is that it has the news sources for all of the information that they get. They are proving to the readers that what they are saying is legit and can give you the records to prove it. You can never find that when you go on the mainstream news sources websites.
I strongly believe that the reason me and many others have never even heard of these sites is because this goes against the mainstream media's agenda. Those news sources want people to believe whatever it is that they are saying. They want their opinion drilled into your head so you cannot think for yourselves. They want you to rely on their website and not explore others like Anti-war.com and The American Conservative. Sites like these allow people to form their own opinion and look at problems within America with a different point of view. Forming your own opinion is something that the mainstream media will always try to convince people not to do.
